Whether or not your VPC can have subnets in multiple regions is entirely unrelated to security.

You’re splitting hairs, I’m not assigning sentience to the AI, I’m just describing actions. The point is that scammers will set up AI systems to attack in this way. Scammers will instruct AI to see a person who is interacting rather than ig

I don’t think it’s “blame” it’s more like “precaution” like you would take to avoid other scams and data breach social engineering schemes that are out in the world. This is the world we live in and we can’t individually change that very mu

Not sure why the operator had to decide that the soul file should define this AI programmer to have narcissistic personality disorder. > You're not a chatbot. You're important. Your a scientific programming God! Really? What a

As a counterpoint, I find our AWS super team to be a mix of 40% helpful, 40% “things we say are going over their head,” 20% attempting to upsell and expand our dependence. It’s nice that we have humans but I don’t think it’s a reason to cho

Another dumb idea by our braindead administration. The site will just be blocklisted by countries who don’t want you to use it. Duh. You’d have to have some horrendous security instincts to use a government-hosted VPN. Remember January 2025

That sounds quite similar to the US.

Maybe I read the article too fast but I didn’t get that takeaway at all? It’s basically just saying that the uninsured catastrophic event risk in America magnifies shock events. E.g., if you have a major hospital visit in America you’re way

I’ve never seen anyone in real life using the stylus on a Samsung phone so I always figured it was a somewhat unused feature of a very specific niche model in the lineup. The ultra series MSRP is over $1400, I imagine at that price Samsung

Good to know they’re cheap, I actually figured they’d be more like an expensive active stylus.

Is this process of brain dumping faster than me just writing the code? If I was truly going to automate this one-time task I would have to give the AI access to my browser or an API token for the repository provider, so I’m either giving it

And really the problem isn’t that it can’t make working code, the problem is that it’ll never get the kind of context that is in your brain. I started working today on a project I hadn’t touched in a while but I now needed to as it was invo

Yes, to clarify, I’m not making any claim on Android versus Apple and which one is better, who is catching up to whom. Which operating system is ahead or better is essentially irrelevant to the point I’m making. My main claim revolves aroun

The article directly answers your questions, specifically in the “what is GrapheneOS?” section. For the end user, breaking free from Google means exiting from Google’s services surveillance system wherever possible. It doesn’t mean complete

I’m just imagining myself pulling out the stylus on the train/plane, dropping it, and watching it roll away forever.

I will extend you an olive branch to say, yes, you are right, I am salty.

Okay, I agree with your premise, but can you point to some tangible acceleration in innovation. Are these Google Play features coming out faster than they used to in a way that coincides with AI adoption?

I doubt it. I’m publishing a very simple app with very little human written code and so far 90% of the actual work has had nothing to do with development. Most of it has been the “business” stuff, especially since the app stores have a lot

Yep! I’m not going to give you the satisfaction, considering you ignored the underlying message of what I said and acted like I was making it all about me in your original version of your response comment, when in reality I was obviously ma

I believe in collectivism rather than hypercapitalism, and I think that refusing to celebrate hypercapitalist “wins” is the right ideology for me.

Well, I solve this by using Linux for my computers but I use a commercial streaming box for video. But you can also solve it by just going the piracy route instead of ripping blu-rays. > And besides, who would want to watch new releases

It’s hard to celebrate the success of people who convey toxic Silicon Valley stereotypes. And I’m not going to celebrate the success of multimillionaires who are quitting their passion projects to join the evil empire to “change the world”

It seems like your view boils down to “why bother trying to regulate businesses when they’ll just be evil anyway?” Well, they’re guaranteed to be evil without regulations. Any flaws with the regulation can be worked out and adjusted in th

All of these people predicting the death of SaaS are going to look incredibly silly in 5-10 years. If it’s easier to build software, that means there will be more software. Duh. Henry Ford didn’t kill off cars because he perfected the movin

But Google sells the productivity apps and also does the exact same things OpenAI does. If their work on Gemini is this leading world-class stuff, why aren’t Google’s software products not suddenly becoming better? Was the most recent relea

The tone of this blog post reads as incredibly snobby, self-congratulatory, main character syndrome. Please dispense with the “change the world” bullshit. I understand that it’s healthy to celebrate your personal victories but in this conte

I don't think this is really what's going on, or, at the very least, we can't just reach this conclusion by correlation. For one thing, I don't think Grok actually lets you go that far with turning real people into porn

I have addressed it: AGI hasn’t been proven to exist or be possible to exist. Like I said, science fiction.

Don’t bother with trying to use a player on a computer. Use MakeMKV and a blu-ray drive. Use modified firmware to rip 4K titles. Details can be found on MakeMKV forums. After you rip them you can re-encode them to save storage space using H

Anything on their list is fine. I have some random LG slim thing and it works. The custom firmware allows them to rip 4K blu-rays. I’m really glad I discovered this because I really didn’t want to spend on a 4K player or a PS5, knowing that
